Getting Element Style Outside The Style Attribute?
Oct 22, 2009
if I have an html page that uses the <style> or a <link> to call a style sheet these properties aren't available to JavaScript is there a good way to access them? eg
<html>
<head>
<title>expandable text area</title>
<style type="text/css">
I have <style> tags in my <head> section, and only want to set the cursor attribute if the user's browser has JavaScript enabled. This code however doesn't set the cursor attribute even if JavaScript is enabled:
My understanding had been that $.css("width") would return the original user selected style, eg "100%" or "10em", and $.width() returned the computed width, always in "px". Not so, following the code through for .css(), it calls something called getComputedStyle and the only difference between the two functions turns out to be a post-fix of "px" on the .css() result - not very useful. I need to know whether my user has called me with a proportional dimension, or a fixed one. How to tell with jQuery?
I'm adding title attribute to some elements by using mouseenter function. But I would like to hide the shadow which comes by default nehind the tooltip frame and wrap the text in 2 lines!
I have following HTML code: <br/> <div style="display:none">.....</div> <div style="display:none">.....</div> How can I modify display to block in style attribute with Javascript?
This is probably quite a simple problem but I can't figure out the answer. I'm working on a site that has news stories and events coming in. What I would like is to have the news stories to be styled with squares and events with discs for instance. I might be able to change the actual plug-in so the CSS affects this change, but I just wondered how I could change the list-style-type with jQuery.
function test(id) { alert(document.getElementById(id).style.backgroundColor); }
Why doesn't this work? It returns nothing, but the class, which the element uses, has a background-color value set... ?!?!?! Am i missing something... ?
I am working on a little javascript project, and I need to get an arbitrary element's style information.
For instance, I want a method that you can pass a reference to an object, and for instance, find the current css height property that applies to it, no matter where it was declared. I don't mind it returning a null value if it wasn't set anywhere, but if it's coming from some css class or some css id or some locally defined style, I want to know what is being expressed.
If I just try el.style.height, it only lets you know what the height is if it was explicitly defined in the style tag.
i am trying to have text-decoration applied on some text depending on the value of certain variable. If the value of myvar=0 text-deco =none and if it's 1 then text deco= line-trough...
Kind of the same thing that emails web apps like yahoo or gmail do with mails read or unread if it's unread then email title/subject is bold/strong but if it's read then email title is in normal font-weight...
here is some piece of code i have written to do that
the text on which i want to apply the conditionnal decoration is a table cell (cell2DisplayCell1), the text itself is inserted by the innerHTML instruction!
I tried to introduce the conditional statement with a function displaylinksLineThrough() which is defined in the second block code... Code:
It works if I specify the actual background image within the function, so I know the image is there, and I know it's been properly assigned to div2, but div1's background image doesn't change.
Any way to remove styling on a parent element with JS (as it can't be done in CSS). In a situation like this: Code: <p><img src="image1.gif"></p> <p>Brutus aderat forti.</p> <p><img src="image2.gif"></p> <p>Caesar adsum jam.</p>
The <p> element has default padding, but I'd like to remove the padding when the <p> contains an image. This was my failed attempt to target the <p> element: Code: window.onload = paraPad; function paraPad() { var img = document.getElementsByTagName("img"); var imgpara = img.parentNode; for (i=0; i<imgpara.length; i++) { imgpara.style.padding = "0"; }}
I'm developing a web-template editor for a client, and they want it to update the changes in real-time using javascript. So, in other words, when a person selects a different background image, I use:
document.body.style.backgroundImage="url("+bgimg+")"; Well, I've run into a little problem. I can't seem to find any manual on what comes after style.*
So far, I've seen style.color, style.backgroundImage, style.backgroundRepeat, style.backgroundColor. But, I'm looking for something that can control text-decoration, font-weight and a:hover
Does anyone no where I can find a list of all properties support after style.*?
I can not Seem top work out how to assign to make the following work: document.getElementById("header-3").style.backgroundImage = "url(parmsarray[position])";Or the following : document.getElementById("header-3").style.backgroundImage = "url(tmp);where tmp and document.getElementById("header-3").style.backgroundImage = "parmsarray[position] are variables.
I am looking for a way to determine is an element style was determined (thru css) or calculated.
So far I can t find the RightWay(tm) for doing this. $().height() returns the calculated height which is the same as $().css("height"). I have solved the problem under IE and Opera using DOM.currentStyle.height. But not on other browsers (e.g. gecko). To make clear, I want to know if the height css rule in action is something like: 100%, auto, inherit, 3em, 5pt, 100px.
$().height() returns the browser calculated value to px, even if the current set is '100%'.
I am attempting to change the style after the user has loaded the page(every x number of seconds) but the element just doesn't seem to berefreshing. I have done all of the checking, and it seems like it ischanging it but it isn't showing that on the page.
I ended up having to preset style with JavaScript.
Here is what I did.
CSS Code:
JavaScript Code:
HTML4Strict Code:
The first time I hit toggle, nothing happens. The second time I hit toggle, the hidden list appears, but only because I used JavaScript to set the display property.
My workaround is to do this in the HTML after the element to be toggled.
JavaScript Code:
Putting this code in the elements onload event property didn't work either, which I found odd, but I read that it was not the recommended way of doing this.
I can't figure out why the CSS declaration didn't load into the JavaScript HTML DOM. I suspect it's some sort of order of execution thing, like the difference between the two following function declarations.
I'm currently putting javascript function onto a page to swap the content between 2 divs onclick- when one is visible one is hidden and vice versa (they are in the same place to create a tabbed browsing effect).
the script:
<script type="text/javascript"> * function detailStyle() {
I am using AJAX + JSON to construct a HTML code, which physicaly does not appear on my page, but after is created and put in a variable I display it with innerHTML. Then with another on e function, I tell some of the <tr> to get style.display = 'none', which is working properly! Then I want to check which of them are currently invisible an d for that purpose I use:
Code: for (p = 0; p < rows.length; p++) { if(document.getElementById(rows[p].id).style.display == 'none') { alert(rows[p].id); } }
where rows is a define array with getElementsbyTag with all the <tr> - s. Then what happens is really strange - I am getting alerted ALL the <tr> ids, including the currently visible, and, then they dissappear, (as if I have told them to make them style.display = none, which I haven't)!! I have tried also with currentStyle instead of style, but the effect is the same.
